Tii Pullover

I've always been intrigued by sweater construction. I like to explore, to have fun, creating garments in different ways, not necessarily making things more complicated. *Tii* is quite a simple sweater pattern. It is beginner friendly, but it has a fun twist in the end, when you put all the pieces together. It is made in two halves (right and left) and the final touch is an i-cord that weaves both halves together. I called it in honor of my friend Tiina, who always supports and loves me… and who’s also taught me so many things (like knitting continental style!) ❤️ I love you, dear friend. Tiina also gifted me her yarn to work with, the gorgeous [Tukuwool DK][1]. I've used just one color (my favorite, gray), but you may use different colors for each half, or a different color for the cord... You could even knit different cords to change the look of the sweater. This is my first experiment using i-cords as ties in a sweater design and I can't wait to explore this idea in depth. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) Shown in size 3 on a 36” [90 cm] bust.
